Hey everyone, especially all my weplay friends out there. Thanks so much for all of your questions and comments. Right now I'm here in Detroit for a weekend series with the Tigers. I always love coming here since this is where I grew up and knowing that I have friends and family in the crowd gives me an extra boost.

So I don't have too much time here since we have to get to the park, but wanted to get in and answer some of the questions you guys sent in and posted on my page. Then in a few days or so I'll get to a bunch more. Sound like a plan? Alright let's do it.

Question from McKinnley -- have you ever got hit by a pitch if so what did you do to stop thinking about getting hit your next time batting?

The answer is yes, I've been hit a lot. It's still in the back of your mind the next time at the plate, but you just have to focus on the next pitch, not the last one.

Chelsea wrote in - Hey I am a die hard softball player and this year I'm DH for the whole season and have been struggling a bit, because my confidence has gone down. Is there any way I can work at getting better?

You can't change anything that's happened up to this point, but you can take positives out of every performance going forward. Concentrate on what you're doing well rather than beating yourself up about mistakes, and get in extra batting practice whenever you can.

And I have to take this one from Ariel Epstein-- I have a question..... who inspired you to be a shortstop?

The answer is that it was my dad, because he was also a shortstop in college.

Erik Gaffron posted a question asking if my stance changed at all since little league.

You know, it hasn't changed that much. Everyone's stance is a little bit different, you just have to find something that makes you comfortable.

I know there are more questions out there and I'll check back in soon to answer some more. Keep them coming and take care. See you soon.
